Frequently asked questions about the Hindi Panchang 1976
How many festivals and vrats does the Hindi Panchang list in 1976?
The Hindi Panchang lists 267 dates in 1976, of which 213 are vrats. The first is Amavasya on Thursday, 1 January 1976, and the last is Masik Durgashtami on Tuesday, 28 December 1976.
What are the main festival dates in the Hindi Panchang for 1976?
The first major observances of 1976 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Wednesday, 14 January 1976
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Thursday, 15 January 1976
- Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 5 February 1976
- Bhishma Ashtami - Sunday, 8 February 1976
- Maha Shivaratri - Saturday, 28 February 1976
- Holika Dahan - Monday, 15 March 1976
Which month of 1976 has the most observances in the Hindi Panchang?
October 1976 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Daksha Savarni Manvadi, Dussehra / Dasara (Vijayadashami), Papankusha Ekadashi, Bhaum Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Ashwina Purnima Vrat, Sharad Purnima, Ashwina Purnima.
Which traditional year does 1976 correspond to in the Hindi Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1976 spans Vikram Samvat 2032 – 2033. The traditional year does not begin on 1 January, so one Gregorian year usually covers the end of one era year and the start of the next.
Did 1976 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1976 had twelve lunar months with no Adhik Maas, so its festival dates fall in their usual Gregorian window rather than being pushed later by an intercalary month.
Were there any eclipses in 1976?
1976 had 4 eclipses:
- 29 April 1976 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 14 May 1976 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 23 October 1976 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 7 November 1976 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 3 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1976?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1976:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 25 February 1976
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 8 July 1976
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 8 December 1976, moving retrograde
Jupiter takes about a year to cross one sign and Saturn about two and a half, so these transits colour the whole year rather than a single week.
How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 1976?
Use the month grid above: pick a month from the selector, then tap any day to open its full panchang - tithi with start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Set your city in the box at the top first, because these timings are sunrise-based and shift with location. The Hindi Panchang - Vikram Samvat opens on the current month.
About the Hindi Panchang - Vikram Samvat
The Hindi Panchang of the North Indian tradition (Vikram Samvat, Purnimanta month reckoning). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Samvat year and lunar month.
Each day lists its tithi and paksha, the nakshatra, the weekday (vaar) and any festivals or vrats. Tap any day to see the full panchang for that date - tithi start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Use the month and year selectors to browse any year in the archive or plan ahead into the coming years.
This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
